martin luther king jr. gave the famous "i have a dream speech" august 28th, 1963, 50 years ago tomorrow. tomorrow night on this program, we will commemorate that anniversary with a very special edition of "all in" in which we will present that speech here in its entirety. the clip we just saw is so famous you've probably seen it dozens if not hundreds of times. the full speech is so rarely seen. so having the opportunity to televise it here tomorrow night is very exciting. one of the things that is so striking about his speech that day when you have the chance to see it and hear it in its entirety is just how forcefully radical the speech really was. uplifting to be sure. inspirational. and inclusive. but this speech was a pivotal moment in years of struggle. the march on washington was, therefore, a reason to make demands of those in power. in a sense, we have come to our nation's capital to cash a check, dr. king said." the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the constitution, the de
